MP12 and MP10 by MarcoPolo Adventure Yachts at the Genoa Boat Show
MARCOPOLO ADVENTURE YACHTS, the new brand of the Aschenez Group, after the world premiere at Boot Düsseldorf 2026 and the showcases at the Cannes Yachting Festival and the Monaco Yacht Show, is ready to welcome owners, industry professionals, and enthusiasts at the 66th International Boat Show in Genoa, following the strong interest and positive feedback recorded at the recently concluded events. In the marina in Genoa, the two new additions to the range will debut for the first time in Italy: MP12 and MP10, vessels that embody a new interpretation of the MARCOPOLO ADVENTURE YACHTS concept.
The DNA of the MARCOPOLO ADVENTURE YACHTS brand
Born from the vision of Rosario Alcaro, CEO of the Aschenez Group and already founder of successful brands like Invictus Yacht and Capoforte, the MARCOPOLO ADVENTURE YACHTS project proposes a navigation idea based on freedom, exploration, and flexibility of use, adapting to different modes of use and navigation.
The lines and style are signed by Roberto Delfanti Design Lab, which has given the range a contemporary, bold, and highly recognizable style. Among the design features stand out:
Foldable transom walls that increase the walkable surface on board and create a direct connection with the sea and the Modular layout, an intelligent solution that allows the configuration of the vessel to be transformed from open to cruiser even at a later time, thanks to structural elements that can be installed aftermarket.
MP12: the flagship at 12.70 meters of MarcoPolo Adventure Yachts
The MP12 represents the maximum expression of the shipyard’s philosophy; thanks to its length of 12.70 meters and a maximum width of 4.05 meters, it allows for very spacious areas dedicated to conviviality, and with the foldable walls, this space becomes a true open platform to the sea.
The three-step hull, developed with advanced CFD fluid dynamics analysis (*), combined with a triple outboard engine (up to 450 HP each), ensures stability, speed, and hydrodynamic efficiency, as well as a significant reduction in fuel consumption.
The use of advanced materials such as lightweight composites, recycled PET elements, and honeycomb polypropylene allows for optimization of weight and structural resistance; carbon fiber has been used for the posts and hardtop.
Below deck, there are two cabins with a total of four berths (owner’s cabin at the bow and a cabin with single beds at the stern) and a bathroom with a separate shower box, making this MP12 ideal for long-range cruising as well.
MP10: agility and comfort under 10 meters of MarcoPolo Adventure Yachts
The MP10 encapsulates the same technology and versatility as its larger sister in more compact and agile dimensions; with its 9.96 meters in length and 3.05 meters in width, it still offers very high levels of comfort and livability.
The asymmetrical layout optimizes the deck space allowing for a comfortable side passage on the left. The protective hardtop covers both the driving position and the kitchen area.
Equipped with a two-step hull (designed via CFD), it adopts outboard engines with a maximum installable power of two 350 HP propellers.
Below deck, there is a convertible dinette at the bow with a sofa bed (optional), a bathroom complete with shower, and numerous modular storage solutions.
The interest generated in Cannes confirmed the international attention towards MARCOPOLO ADVENTURE YACHTS and the ability of the MP12 and MP10 models to attract an international audience, comments Luca Brancaleon, General Sales and Marketing Director of Aschenez Group. We are now entering the next phase of brand development, aiming to transform the visibility generated by these first international presentations into commercial opportunities and a stronger dealer network. Genoa holds particular importance, as it represents the debut of MARCOPOLO in the Italian market and offers us a new opportunity to meet owners, dealers, and industry professionals.
The path taken so far, continues Luca Brancaleon, represents only the beginning of a broader growth project. The next challenge will indeed be the development of a larger model, in order to intercept new market needs.
Visitors to the 66th Boat Show in Genoa will be able to appreciate live the versatility and innovation of the MP12 and MP10 models of MARCOPOLO ADVENTURE YACHTS at various docks and partner exhibitors:
MP12 (with Mercury engine): Marcopolo Stand — Dock B, stand A22
MP12 (with Honda engine): Honda Stand — North Dock, stand BN139B
MP10 (with Suzuki engine): Suzuki Stand — North Dock, stand BN159A

(*) CFD fluid dynamics is based on complex systems of differential equations that describe how mass, momentum, and energy are conserved within a fluid through 3 phases: 1) The 3D model of the object is imported and the surrounding fluid space is divided into a grid made up of millions of small elements or control volumes. 2) The software applies boundary conditions (inlet speed, pressure, temperature, viscosity) and solves the equations for each individual cell of the grid until convergence is reached. 3) The calculated numerical data is converted into color maps, flow lines, velocity vectors, and quantitative values (flow rate, aerodynamic drag, pressure drop, heat exchange).
